“The Oshkosh P-19R Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting vehicle integrates combat-proven performance and advanced firefighting technology to deliver cutting-edge on-road and off-road firefighting capabilities,” said Pat Williams, Vice President and General Manager of Army and Marine Corps Programs at Oshkosh Defense. “The P-19R provides unmatched off-road mobility and the latest in military-class vehicle technologies to take our Marines where they need to be quickly and safely."
